I've read them, and they do have a lot of info, but most of it seems to deal with the period after they've become Wraiths. The Lord of the Nazgul was already a Wraith when he became Witch King of Angmar.

Aside from whether or not the Lieutenant of the Tower is named Morgoth or Kamul, the UT are almost as bare bones about the Nine as LOR [except for their riding to Orthanc]. I just think the Lord of the Nazgul would make an interesting subject. He was, apparently, a wizard of sufficient power to face Gandalf after breaking the gate of Minas Tirith, and a soldier of formidable skill. A pity we never learn more about him.

But then again, I'm one of the few people I know who believes Pippin, not Eowyn, killed the Black Captain on Pellanor Field,with the barrow sword inscribed with runes of power against the Witch King of Angmar.

"But then again, I'm one of the few people I know who believes Pippin, not Eowyn, killed the Black Captain on Pellanor Field,with the barrow sword inscribed with runes of power against the Witch King of Angmar."

I had always thought the combination killed the Witch King--Pippin's dagger unloosed the spell that protected him, and Eowyn's sword thrust killed him.

It is logical that Pippin's dagger did the whole thing--except for the prophecy that he could not be killed by the hand of man.

Even with that you could reason that Pippin was not a man. But the sense of the prophecy being fulfilled by Eowyn is there in that passage.

IIRC it was Merry who rode with Eowyn and helped her slay him, not Pippin. Gandalf had taken Pippin with him to Minas Tirith to keep him out of trouble after he looked in the Palantir and left Merry behind with Theoden.
